Summary

Hooli's debut of Nucleus, by using it to stream an UFC fight, fails spectacularly. The Pied Piper team senses an opportunity and immediately partner's with "Homicide" energy drink, which is owned by a former college friend of Erlich. While setting up for the event, where a stunt car will be launched from one skyscraper to another, Richard learns that the Homicide owner "Double-A" is not a fan of Erlich. After Richard agrees to do the deal without Erlich present, he cancels the agreement after learning Double-A's business intentions are not honourable. Meanwhile, Dinesh and Gilfoyle notice that Blaine, the stunt driver, has miscalculated the stunt and will likely be killed. After Blaine arrogantly refuses to listen to them, they perform a SWOT analysis based on Blaine's death. Meanwhile, Gavin Belson, concerned about the Nucleus failure, worries that he has surrounded himself with sycophants. At the end of the episode the Homicide stunt is broadcast by rival company "EndFrame", a company whose members had tricked Pied Piper into revealing their algorithm in S02E02. Meanwhile, Pied Piper has to settle for a live-stream of a condor egg, which may or may not hatch.
